I was driving by Calaveras/237 and theres a sign saying that they are opening soon. Its close to the 880 on ramp next to Lees Sandwiches.

The kalua pig was too watery for me and lacked enough of the smokey taste I was expecting. I also ordered the Curry beef and I guess I missed the point because I thought it would be a beef curry stew. Instead it was the kalbi shortrib meat (boneless) in a dark curry sauce. Does Zippys serve things like this or is it a Lukoki invention? Oh well. We did try Onos in Half Moon Bay. Really excellant kalua pig and nice size portion.

We stopped there the other night and their Kalua Pig is awesome, really moist. My gf and I didnt try their Hawaiian BBQ items yet, but we did try their desserts, Banana Kine & Coconut Fritters, theyre like the hawaiian malasadas. They have a really big menu, its not like the Hawaiian BBQ places in LA. And theyre open til MIDNIGHT everyday! Well definitely come back and try their BBQ. We also tried this spot in Mountain view, Da Kitchen, that place was good too Posted: 11/24/2005 3:33:42 PM Add to Topic | Reply re: new spot Name: Kailea Posts: 2 Reviews: 0 From: San Jose Joined: 1/5/2006 Hey Phuc, I got a mailer from the Hawaiian BBQ place off Tully in Sj too...
